Yeah, I missed that bit. Here's what he should do:
  • Get the annual fee version
  • See how the transaction codes
  • Before the second year fee hits, try to downgrade to the no annual fee version, if not possible just apply for it


Also the no annual fee version has just added some additional benefits:
  • Intro APR period of 12 months
  • Free TripIt pro subscription
  • Free FICO score
